Notes from the research
- TIMEMORE's own Chestnut C-series manuals are image-only PDFs (timemore.cn), so nothing in them could be quote-verified; text sources are brand-wide, not model-named.
- No first-party cleaning interval or burr life; the burr-life figure is from a 2021 TIMEMORE staff interview (community).
